In tradition with the sort of equipment that Frederick Courtenay Selous himself might have used, the professionally designed safari tents are the real thing at this luxury camp.
But inside it's another matter - built on sturdy hardwood platforms raised to catch the breeze, there is a traditional writing desk, leather-bound game books, comfortable spacious beds, luxurious dressing room, shower, flush toilet and twin porcelain basins, included at this Tanzania lodging.
Fluffy cotton dressing gowns and towels and traditionally woven kikoys decorate the beds and dressing-room, lit by brass safari lamps. Each tent has a spacious verandah looking out over the river and it is normal to hear snorting Hippos frisking in the water during the night.
The camp is large and nicely spread out - Maasai askaris escort the guests to and from their tents for safety in the night. Each banda has a separate dressing room leading into an en-suite bathroom with twin basins, high flush toilet and an 'open air' shower.
Selous Impala Camp has a comfortable lodge overlooking the river, where the guests dine or sit and relax in the day, perhaps enjoying a book from the library or a drink from the bar.
